A large screw got sucked up the vacuum. Since then the motor,which I replaced probably only 12 months ago, sounds very "winey" and when you stand the dyson upright the front brush still keeps going round instead of stopping. Any ideas? David

Broken Dyson Our Dyson will not stand upright -- it falls flat on the floor as if the catch that keeps it up is broken. Any ideas for a quick fix before I send it in for repairs? Thanks, Please send any responses to; [email protected]

Hi, I went to the Dyson site, searched for the problem AND found the solution -- to hold a button while lifting the rear of the machine up and it clicked back into place. I knew there was a button somewhere but there are soooo many buttons!!\015\012\ ...

Get a different brand vacuum. Dyson's are easily the worst vacuum I've ever owned. I've tried the DC14, DC25 and DC33 they are all heavy plastic POS's made in Malaysia. I've owned every kind of vacuum under the sun. Rainbow, Kirby, Oreck, Riccar, Seb ...

Dyson hi my dyson sounds as if something is catching when the brush goes round, it's very loud, it still has good suction. I have taken the plate of can't see anything or fell if there is anything obstructing the brush, could it be the belt?

The F1 fuse on the PCB in my Dyson upright keeps blowing.

I want to brush the pile up on my carpet do I need a special attachment to do this??. I have shampood it and it still seems a bit flat. When I shampood no water/foam filled up in the front tray???I am sure I had attached everything correctly. The only thing I can think of is when I attach the brush and tray to the front of the machine, do I turn the handle back to the right way up, or do I leave it upside down, this is the one that picks up the belt.

My Dyson DC 14 is making the horrible "ratcheting"sound only when the brush is engaged on the carpet setting. I have cleaned the brush, so there are no obstructions, the canister is empty and properly on the unit. I checked to make sure all of the "traps" and hoses are clear of obstructions, the belt is on the brush securely and moves freely, the brush itself spins freely, but there is still the "ratcheting" noise. Any other suggestions?

Our DC33 was making the same ratcheting sound immediately upon placing the cleaner/brush head on the carpet. We carefully pulled the beater/brush bar out of the vacuum. Once removed, we pulled the black plastic end off of the center rod. We discovere ...

My Dyson Blueprint bagless rollerball vacuum brush refuses to turn every so often. Everything is connected properly, nothing is clogged in the brush, the vacuum power is turned on and then the brush bar control is released, but the brush still does not turn.

Dyson vacuum I have a DC07 vaccuum. The problem I am having is that the front does not want to stay down as I vaccuum and I continuously have to keep stepping on the front to make it go back down to the floor. It seems as though there is either not enough weight in the front or possibly the unit just has to be broken in so that there is not so much resistance between the handle and the front of the vaccuum. Could there be something I did not remove or is this typical on these vaccuums?

There is some thing broken it is two plastic cogs they help the front go down and stay up you will have to get a star screw driver and there should be two screws on top and two at the b ...

My dyson seems to have lost its suction therefore is not picking up anything yet i have found that when my dyson is standing upright it has a little more suction but nothing like how it use to work. This has only happend in the last 2 weeks. I sanded a floor & though the sander picked up majority of the dust i did use the dyson to pick up the excess and it is since then that my dyson has not been working to its full potential.

I snagged a loose throw rug with the Dyson last night. It jammed the brushes which stopped spinning, Once I removed all the entangled fibers the motor won't turn. The vacume still sucks, but the brushes don't spin I'm concerned I burnt up the motor for the brushes

We have a Hoover upright vacuum cleaner, model Core 7. There is a switch that turns on and off the brush drive. This operates via a cam with a bearing putting pressure on the final drive belt to engage the brush head.
My brush head is not turning and with the lever set to engage the drive there is still considerable slack in the final drive belt.
There appears to be only a bearing deflecting the belt, should there be a pully or other device mounted on this bearing? There is so much slack a

Yes, there should have been a white plastic sprocket on top of the bearing - in its channel the belt would sit. Unfortunately no parts are available for this unit that can be bought retail - only available by order to dealer repair shops.\012\012\012 ...
